Shane Mosley "I want Miguel Cotto But There Is A Catch"
Just found this this
Shane Mosley speaks: Wants Miguel Cotto but there is a Catch!
With Antonio Margarito out of the picture for the next year over alleged illegal hand wraps, a rematch with Miguel Cotto in the near future seems highly unlikely. With Margarito no longer a viable option, Shane Mosley has indicated he'd love to take Margarito's place and avenge a close decision loss back in 2007 to Cotto at NY's Madison Square Garden.
Although Mosley wants a rematch with Cotto, there is a Catch. The Catch? Mosley won't take the rematch if it's held again in New York (considered Cotto's home turf.)
Mosley recently tells Dan Rafael of ESPN.com that he is not willing to have a rematch with Cotto in New York again. "I won't be flying into New York if there's a rematch," said Mosley to ESPN, adding: "They'll be coming to Las Vegas or Los Angeles. He can fight in New York in June, but it won't be with me. This time, it will have to be on the West side. But I definitely want to fight Cotto again."

Miguel Cotto Vs Shane Mosley 2 = Greatness lol
Re: Shane Mosley "I want Miguel Cotto But There Is A Catch"
Sounds fair to me. Shane wants the GB judges, guess I cant blame him. He is the champ so its his call. I still think I favor Cotto in the rematch. Shane doesnt usually do much better in rematches.
Re: Shane Mosley "I want Miguel Cotto But There Is A Catch"
Well right now Mosley is the man so he'll probably get what he wants!
Re: Shane Mosley "I want Miguel Cotto But There Is A Catch"
I don't think fighting in Vegas or LA would hurt Cotto....he beat Shane up the last time. I think Shane may try to change things up a bit but Miguel seemed to have his number and I don't think anything has changed

He beat him up? I must have missed that fight. I saw a close fight with Cotto winning by a round or two. I think a rematch would be another close fight with Cotto winning, but this is also assuming Cotto performs as well as he did the 1st time.
Re: Shane Mosley "I want Miguel Cotto But There Is A Catch"
He was hurting Shane...you could tell. Yes Shane never gave up and he won the rounds Cotto took off but Miguel was using the jab and he was rocking Shane when he followed up with anything.
We will have to see how Miguel handles Jennings before making any final decisions.

I saw Cotto at moments beating Mosley up, and that Mosley's insane ability to take punches really kept him in the game. Cotto clearly was the superior boxer, his jab and cross and left hook landed at will, while Mosley could only land his right hook effectively.

He does a little better, and that's all it will take. He lost pretty decidedly to Forrest and Wright in the first fights and made it much close the second time around.
To me the rematch is a tossup, even money fight.
Re: Shane Mosley "I want Miguel Cotto But There Is A Catch"
The uppercut was also working when Cotto threw it.

....either way Floyd Mayweather isn't the GREATEST until he fights both those guys
Re: Shane Mosley "I want Miguel Cotto But There Is A Catch"
Cant wait. I like Mosley alot but im hoping Cotto takes him he wont be taking all those shots to the dome like margarito did. Its gonna be a split decision, probably another fight that could have gone either way.
Re: Shane Mosley "I want Miguel Cotto But There Is A Catch"
Sounds about right,considering recent events.First things first,Cotto getting back into Championship form with rebound victory vs. Jennings.I give Mosley a mental edge to boot,just pulverizing Margarito who had just beat Cotto.I think Mosley will bring more pressure On Cotto,bodywork and about as even a match as it can be Imo.

OK Ill give him that. He did do better against Forrest,Wright, and Vargas in the rematches, Oscar he didnt but Oscar fought a great fight imo in the rematch. One of his best. As long as Mosleys age doesnt catch up with him...i feel like i say that all the time and then these old guy have a great performace, but it could happen. I agree that as of now its a tossup till we see what Cotto has.

the second fight with Mosley/Cotto would be a real close tactical fight.
